DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn response to a congressional request, GAO provided information on state and local governments' expenses during the November 1984 general election on language assistance for minority voters. GAO noted that: (1) 98 percent of the jurisdictions offered minority voters some form of assistance; and (2) Hispanics received the most voting assistance. GAO found that of the state and local governments that responded to its survey: (1) 83 local jurisdictions spent an additional $388,000 to provide oral assistance to minority groups; (2) 39 local jurisdictions spent an additional $30,000 for oral assistance; and (3) 10 states spent approximately $211,000 to provide written or oral assistance directly to voters or to local jurisdictions. GAO also found that, of the local governments that responded to the survey: (1) 80 percent could not estimate the extent to which written assistance was used; (2) 74 percent could not estimate the extent to which oral assistance was used; (3) 26 of the 49 that estimated the use of written assistance said no one used the assistance; (4) 29 of the 62 that estimated the use of oral assistance said no one used it; (5) 69,000 Hispanic voters in Texas received written assistance, while 85,000 received oral assistance; and (6) most of the jurisdictions that commented on the need for oral or written assistance said that such assistance was unnecessary.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Voting Rights Act (VRA) was successfully challenged in a June 2013 case decided by the U.S. Supreme Court in Shelby County, Alabama v. Holder. The suit challenged the constitutionality of Sections 4 and 5 of the VRA, under which certain jurisdictions with a history of racial discrimination in voting-mostly in the South-were required to "pre-clear" changes to the election process with the Justice Department (the U.S. Attorney General) or the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. The preclearance provision (Section 5) was based on a formula (Section 4) that considered voting practices and patterns in 1964, 1968, or 1972. At issue in Shelby County was whether Congress exceeded its constitutional authority when it reauthorized the VRA in 2006-with the existing formula-thereby infringing on the rights of the states. In its ruling, the Court struck down Section 4 as outdated and not "grounded in current conditions." As a consequence, Section 5 is intact, but inoperable, unless or until Congress prescribes a new Section 4 formula.
